Reading this record
Five things about this record are not in the record itself, and each one changes how it should be read.
Class I means the FDA judged a reasonable probability that the product would cause serious health consequences or death. The class is assigned by an agency health hazard evaluation under 21 CFR 7.41, not by the firm.
The firm started this recall itself. Most FDA food recalls are voluntary, and a recall is a food safety plan working rather than failing. The circumstances in which the agency asks for one instead are set out in 21 CFR 7.45.
This record is the only one the FDA opened for its recall event, so it covers a single product code.
The recall ran for 3 weeks, from 7 August 2017 to termination on 31 August 2017. Termination means the agency judged that all reasonable effort had been made, under 21 CFR 7.55, and it says nothing about whether product remained in circulation.
The distribution pattern names 2 states, and the FDA published the enforcement report 3 weeks after the firm began the recall.
Recalls of fresh produce run a median of 7 months, so this one was shorter than usual for its category. Fresh produce is the category where contamination arrives before the facility does: irrigation water, soil amendments and field workers are the routes, and nothing downstream of the farm is a kill step for a product eaten raw.
Named in the distribution pattern: California, West Virginia. Those pages count recalls by where the RECALLING FIRM sits, which is a different question from where this product went.
These are the closest records in the corpus: the same kind of food. Unlike the firm’s own records below, they come from different companies, which is what makes them a pattern rather than a history.
Trader Joes branded Southwestern Chopped Salad Kits was found to contain the incorrect master pack. The master pack includes the allergens of soy and pistachio. Soy was declared on the label, but pistachio was not.
Canadian product only - Sensations Spinach salad kit was packed in Sensations Asian Supreme Salad kit. The spinach kit contains feta cheese and milk is not listed on the ingredient statement as the source of the cheese as required by FALCPA.
USDA collected a sample and performed random sample on Marketside Organic Baby Spinach lot code TFRS 130B16 Best of Used By 5-25-12. This product tested positive for Salmonella.
Behind every recall is a clause somebody has to produce evidence for at their next audit. Krolda maps supplier documents to the clause they satisfy in FSSC 22000, IFS Food and 21 CFR 117, and routes the corrective action when the evidence is missing.
Recall records come from the openFDA food enforcement API, published by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in the public domain. Krolda adds the hazard classification and the clause mapping; neither is an FDA determination. Always check the FDA notice before acting on a recall.
